Definitions
- the present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More particularly, the present invention relates to wireless communication apparatus using Fast Fourier Transforms (FFTs) to create, optimize and incorporate a beam space antenna array in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) receiver.
- FFTs Fast Fourier Transforms
- OFDM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
- Improving the capacity of a wireless communication system is perhaps one of the most important areas in cellular technology that requires further exploration. Deficiencies in the spectral efficiency and power consumption of mobile systems have motivated wireless communication system designers to explore new areas in the technology that will offer capacity relief. One of these new areas is the use of antenna arrays in wireless systems to improve system capacity.
- Antenna arrays deal with using multiple antenna elements at a receiver and/or transmitter to improve the capacity of the system. For example, using multiple antennas in a wireless receiver offers diversity of received signals. This proves to work well in fading environments and multi-path environments, where one path of a signal received by one antenna of the receiver may be subjected to difficult obstacles. In this scenario, the other antennas of the receiver receive different paths of the signal, thus increasing the probability that a better component of the signal, (i.e., a less corrupt version of the signal), may be received.
- OFDM is a technology that is being considered by different industry drivers for use in many different communications applications, including antenna arrays. It is desired to find ways to reduce the complexity of antenna array receiver systems using OFDM technology.
- the present invention is related to wireless communication apparatus which uses FFTs in an OFDM receiver which incorporates a beam space antenna array.
- the beam space antenna array may be implemented with a Butler matrix array.
- the beam space antenna array may be a circular array, vertical array, or a combination of both circular and vertical arrays, for providing the desired angular antenna coverage.
- the present invention implements an OFDM receiver and beam space antenna array by re-using FFTs in an efficient manner.
- the antenna array is optimized because the FFTs are linear invariant transform operators, whereby the order of operations in the present invention can be interchanged.
- FIG. 1 shows a multiple beam OFDM receiver architecture in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 shows a simplified architecture of the OFDM receiver architecture of FIG. 1 .
- the present invention provides wireless communication apparatus which implements an OFDM receiver including a beam space antenna array, such as a Butler matrix array.
- a Butler matrix array is equivalent to an FFT processor implemented at the baseband.
- the apparatus may include an OFDM receiver, a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), a base station or an integrated circuit (IC).
- WTRU wireless transmit/receive unit
- IC integrated circuit
- WTRU includes but is not limited to a user equipment (UE), a mobile station, a fixed or mobile subscriber unit, a pager, or any other type of device capable of operating in a wireless environment.
- UE user equipment
- mobile station a fixed or mobile subscriber unit
- pager or any other type of device capable of operating in a wireless environment.
- base station includes but is not limited to a Node-B, a site controller, an access point or any other type of interfacing device in a wireless environment.
- the features of the present invention may be incorporated into an IC or be configured in a circuit comprising a multitude of interconnecting components.
- the number of beams that may be generated is equal to the number of antenna elements in the antenna array.
- the antenna array may provide any desired angular coverage.
- the angular coverage of the antenna array may include a circular array, which provides 360 degrees of simultaneous coverage.
- the OFDM receiver uses an FFT in its implementation for demodulation of a number of carriers. Each carrier is then independently modulated by a desired modulation scheme, such as Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK), Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM), or the like.
- QPSK Quadrature Phase Shift Keying
- QAM Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
- the signals received by the OFDM receiver are processed using the antenna array.
- FIG. 1 shows one embodiment of a multiple beam OFDM architecture 100 used to implement FFT re-use in an OFDM receiver and antenna array.
- the OFDM architecture 100 includes an antenna array 105 including a plurality of antenna elements 105 1 , 105 2 , 105 3 , . . . , 105 N , the outputs of which are fed to an OFDM receiver 150 . It should be understood that the number of elements used by the antenna array 105 may vary.
- the OFDM receiver 150 includes a first stage FFT processor 110 , a plurality of serial-to-parallel (S/P) converters 120 1 , 120 2 , 120 3 , . . . , 120 N , N second stage FFT processors, 125 1 , 125 2 , 125 3 , . . . , 125 N , and, optionally, a parallel-to-serial (P/S) converter 130 which outputs a single serial data stream 135 .
- S/P serial-to-parallel
- P/S parallel-to-serial
- the first stage FFT processor 110 receives a plurality of beam signals from the antenna elements 105 1 , 105 2 , 105 3 , . . . , 105 N , respectively.
- the first stage FFT processor 110 performs antenna processing on the beam signals so as to separate spatial beams 1 through N which can be processed independently.
- the antenna array 105 is a circular array which provides full azmuthal coverage. In another embodiment, the antenna array 105 is a vertical array which provides only elevational coverage. In yet another embodiment, a combination of both a circular and vertical antenna array may be used, provided there are at least two, or preferably four or more, antenna elements in each azmuthal or elevation plane.
- the signals from the antenna array 105 are processed by the first stage FFT processor 110 , which may be a Butler matrix.
- FFT Butler
- the Butler matrix transforms the signal from element, or Cartesian space to beam space, or angular space.
- By transforming to beam space it is possible to operate on signals which arrive within an angular spatial region directly, rather than indirectly in the element space by using some arbitrary cost function.
- the channel as perceived by the receiver is transformed to exhibit an angular dependency, rather than a Cartesian dependency, which is the same dependency that the received signals have.
- Equation (2) The Butler (FFT) matrix is defined by Equation (2) as follows:
- V 2 is an M ⁇ M Fourier matrix for M sub-carriers
- ⁇ circle around (x) ⁇ is a Kronecker product
- I 1 is an N ⁇ N identity matrix
- K is a bit reordering matrix which is determined by the size of V 2
- V 1 is an N ⁇ N Fourier matrix for N antenna elements
- I 2 is an M ⁇ M identity matrix.
- Equation (4) The capacity C of an OFDM system without a beam space operation is determined by Equation (4):
- Equation (5) determines the capacity C of an OFDM system which performs a beam space operation, (i.e., OFDM architecture 100 ), as follows:
- Equation (5) Equation (5) may be rewritten as:
- the rank of the modified channel may be optimized by weighting beams appropriately.
- Either of the outputs of the first stage FFT processor 110 shown in FIG. 1 and the beam space processor 210 shown in FIG. 2 may be weighted using maximum ratio combining by estimating the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of each beam output.
- SNR signal-to-noise ratio
- the first stage FFT processor 110 outputs beams 115 1 , 115 2 , 115 3 , . . . , 115 N , to the S/P converters 120 1 , 120 2 , 120 3 , . . , 120 N , respectively, which output respective signals, (i.e., M sub-carriers), to the second stage FFT processors 125 1 , 125 2 , 125 3 , . . . , 125 N , which convert each the signals associated with the beams 115 1 , 115 2 , 115 3 , . . .
- the outputs of the second stage FFT processors 125 1 , 125 2 , 125 3 , . . . , 125 N are optionally fed to the P/S converter 130 which serializes the parallel FFT outputs to form a single output data stream 135 .
- FIG. 2 shows a simplified multiple beam OFDM architecture 200 used to optimize and implement FFT re-use in an OFDM receiver 250 and an antenna array 205 , in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. Similar to the OFDM architecture shown in FIG. 1 , the OFDM architecture 200 shown in FIG. 2 includes an antenna array 205 including N antenna elements 205 1 , 205 2 , 205 3 , . . . , 205 N , the outputs of which are fed to an OFDM receiver 250 .
- the OFDM receiver 250 includes a beam space processor 210 , which performs a bit reordering operation, and an optional P/S converter 215 which receives N parallel beam carrier signals from the beam space processor 210 derived from signals received from the N antenna elements 205 1 , 205 2 , 205 3 , . . . , 205 N , and serializes the signals to form a single output data stream 220 .
- the bit reordering operation changes the order of operations such that only one beam space processor 210 is required.
- the beam space processor 210 uses an interleaving operation to reduce the complexity of the beam space OFDM receiver.
- the beam space processor uses an FFT to implement a Butler matrix.
- the OFDM architecture 200 shown in FIG. 2 essentially performs the same functions as the OFDM architecture 100 shown in FIG. 1 , but in a more efficient and less complex manner.
